Brief Summary

For several decades, scientists have reported encouraging effects of physical activity on functional capacities and quality of life among patients with obesity. However, regular daily physical activity remains limited in these individuals. People with obesity generally show lower adherence to physical activity, with 40% not meeting the recommendations of 2.5 to 3 hours of moderate physical activity per week set by the French National Authority for Health to be considered physically active. Since physical activity is the primary energy expenditure that can be targeted, the priority is to make it appealing through exercise programs tailored to individual needs, abilities, and preferences. To achieve this, using music to facilitate walking appears relevant. Studies show that individuals adhere to physical activity and incorporate it into their routines only if they find it enjoyable. Walking to music is more motivating and enjoyable. Moreover, the rhythm of music enhances the functioning of biological systems involved in walking. Tailored physical activity is a major preventive lever to implement for individuals with obesity. It is essential during the initial weight loss phase and during weight maintenance. The overall objective of this study is to propose a digital tool capable of modifying the behavior of individuals with obesity to reduce sedentary behavior in their daily lives. Synchronized walking to the rhythm of music should help train obese patients towards a virtuous cycle leading to slowed weight gain, reduced associated health problems, and improvements in mental health and quality of life.
